I still can’t get my head around this absolutely brilliant act of civil disobedience.

I still wonder what, if any, good the mayors actions will bring. None of the people he has married have any more legal standing anywhere in the nation than they did before. In reality, this will probably create such a litigation backlash that by the time it’s over more damage than good will have been accomplished. It’s too bad. It’s too bad that this is even still an issue. All marriage is from the States point of view is contract of which they are a witness. When viewed as such, it shouldn’t really make any difference what the gender of the participants are.

In the (not so distant) past, discrimination against gays targeted individuals. It once required only minimal efforts to keep everybody in line. Then we started to behave like adults….

Now, spearheaded by a powerful cadre of bigots, an unprecedented attempt is being made to codify discrimination. To maybe even write us out of the Constitution. To make us pseudocitizens or semicitizens.
